After placing my order at the end of March I finally got the update that my HT-2 TL's will be shipping to NYC tomorrow.

Veneer is in a dark Brazilian Ziricote without the front MDF baffles. Jim sent me pics a few hours ago, and they look stunning.

Added: The solid corner trim is Wenge.

I don't know how. I can't find anything inthe main forum on how to insert an image into a post. There's an image link button but I don't have accounts to any gallery sites.

And a close up...

Very nice, nyc_paramedic. That Brazilian Ziricote is beautiful. Excellent choice, and outstanding execution (Jim).

Cheers, and enjoy...

Sure. I would just need a little time to get them settled in and get the rest of my Real Traps up in the ceiling corners.

Oh, right! Sorry I missed you. Joe was very kind in letting me (a total stranger) come to his home. The midrange on his HT3 convinced me to phone in my order that week.

He's more than welcomed to come up to the Bronx as well. Can you picture that? Two Staten Island guys and a Bronx guy sitting on the couch saying "Oh, that midrange is... fugged-aboud-it!!!"

And to Jim, thanks for putting up the pics.

Hey Nick,

Good Luck, your speakers are beautiful. I'm sure you are going to love them!

When they are settled in,Evan and I would love to come for a listen.

Regards,
Joe

really nice wood - beautiful
Jim is at it again

I see faces in their symmetry
on the side his eyes are closed
front view face peering through opening

too cool
